I always forget what the heck is going on when it goes on hiatus. It's sort of like how by the time Walking Dead rolls around for the month I can't remember anyone's name.
I forget names of non main characters all the time. Not just comics either. I'm watching the current season of Game of thrones and I've no idea what the names of 60% of the people are. Some of them were there in season one lol.
Cheska, I'm jealous... I ended up getting super sick over the weekend and had to skip BigWow entirely. 
I finally felt well enough to read some comics last night and read Flex Mentallo #1-4, but I probably should have settled for something light instead, because now I'm thoroughly confused. Anyone want to recommend an article/blogpost that will help me digest all of that madness?
Tonight, I'll probably start Mind MGMT or COPRA...

Yup! And if I end up watching something foreign like Anime just forget it. Names are tough. You've gotta have some kind of gimmick for me to care if your name is "Bob" in a book.

Man I love Flex, I really need to do my annual read of that.
I actually googled around to see if I could find a good word up for you and really liked this article by Laura Hudson http://comicsalliance.com/flex-mentallo-final-crisis-morrison/

I have to admit, that would certainly hold my interest. XD
I'm not ashamed to say that I like slice-of-life stuff in my comics.
I don't know what I expected... That would be a stupid move. But I do want more of her.
I love slice of life stuff, even if it's applied to Spider-Man. What I'm not a fan of is Sins Past type shit. =P

The times when Otto was hanging out with Anna Maria were adorable. Some of the best stuff in Superior.
I'm not against more of her, just how they're doing it if it's true.

Great article there, man. Flex is such an important comic that should never be dismissed. It's so positive about comics and celebrates them and the imagination, and it's definitely one of my most cherished books.
Pm me the image, I kinda wanna see it. It would be crazy if marvel went that way.
Done. Though I don't have context, so it could go either way.

Earlier in the batman and robin series. I think the one with night wing guest starring. Batman was up to some wild stuff then.
Batman and Robin #19 I believe

Dang I gotta read all those.
Thinking about picking up Forever Evil tomorrow (I haven't read any of it so far) and just picking up the DCU stuff that looks interesting moving forward.
The Batman and Robin series is fantastic. That issue #19 was with Red Robin and Batman is truly gone off the deep end. It's glorious.

Went to the local comic book shop today. It was nearly closing time so I wasn't able to spend a bunch of time there but I did find Green Lantern Secret Origin for $8 on sale. That's awesome. Otherwise they had tons of old back issues buy two get one free. I barely was able to flip through them but it seemed like they had a decent selection. I'll have to go back again some time.
Oh, and how is New 52 Justice League? They had the trade there and I didn't know that Jim Lee was the artist for that. He's one of my favorites so I have to ask if the book is worth picking up.
Yeah it's been brutal, and I will admit I'm skimming through it a bit, but I am intrigued by this second coming of Hellfire Club/Phoenix thing.
I will say, however, that falling back on the same villains over and over is quite annoying. It's a cycle of Magneto, Weapon X, and Hellfire Club over and over. They really aren't doing much else and it is a bit flustering. Are most X-Men comics like this? I don't have much experience with them.
I'm excited to get back to Ultimate Spider Man but I mean I'm already in the 70s of Ultimate X-Men so I might as well keep 'er goin. Only ~30 issues left.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I knew that Dark Phoenix Saga was well-received so I didn't bother asking about that one.
So I'll definitely grab Dark Phoenix, and I might grab Schism since there's quite a few of you that liked it and it's fairly cheap.

Mine shipped, I'll have it when I get back from vacation. Can't wait!
I realized that my Marvel pulls have really dropped from 6 months ago. Stopped with most of the XMen titles after the lackluster BotA. Then Aaron left Wolverine and the XMen. Infinity kinda bored me from continuing with a lot of Avengers books. Hawkeye has lost a lot of momentum. Lost interest in Slott's SpOck until the end. Cap's current arc is kinda shitty and the book really fell off after Dimension X.
I used to be excited about all that stuff. Moon Knight and Thor are the only things I'm really happy with right now. Both my Image and DC pulls have increased to fill the void.

The worst part is that he had a halfway decent story planned out for it which would involve a different Banner every time Hulk turns back, so this wouldn't last very long.
Instead, we get a different writer every time Hulk turns back into Banner.

To be fair, he had a fairly long run on the character pre-relaunch. It's not quite the same as Loeb's hit and run on Nova.

Yeah, that looks real good. Love his proportion of Bats.
Aw fuck, I just went and saw it too. That's.... jeez.

A slight bit off topic, but all four amazing DC Adventures PnP RPG books are on sale for only $4.95 a pop in PDF form at Green Ronin pub!
An amazing source of pre-New52 info and a damned fine game to boot! Check em out. Well worth an impulse buy and read even if you're never going to play the game.

DC got me to increase my pull with Superman Johns and giving JL United a try, but Marvel had me add Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Silver Surfer, Original Sin ( argh), Iron Fist, Moon Knight, and now Rocket Raccoon to replace some of the books i've dropped from them ( all the x-men titles outside of Uncanny Remenders, Avengers World, Amazing Spidey)

A threat from the first issue is back to cause problems for Moon Knight!
This mysterious person is the new BLACK SPECTRE and it doesnt mean anything good for the protector of night travelers.
Dont miss the conclusion of Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire.
